Yes I know the name is intriging to anyone outside of Scotland. You are probably wondering what the hell is “tablet” whereas Scottish people the world over will be drooling by now and whispering “mmmmm tablet”. Here are some photos of this wonderful traditional Scottish confectionery.
I say that is is fudge-like because that’s really the closest thing I can think of but I really don’t consider them to be similar. Some fudges, especially those commercial ones that you see sold in brick size portions in shopping malls, can be quite chewy, whereas Tablet is more melt in your mouth, sugary/grainy confection.
This is a traditional sweet to make in Scotland, and especially in my family. I grew up eating this and I still have all my own teeth and I’m not thirty stone, so it can’t be that bad (so long as you brush your teeth regularly lol). My sister loves it but can’t make it, so I usually make it for her around Halloween (also Treacle Toffee!) and Christmas, and she hides it away in a secret cupboard so no one else gets any.
I made this batch yesterday as it is the first thing I plan to feature in my Etsy shop. I just need to check out a few more details and then it should be good to go, but I thought I would preview it here first. It is made with organic milk, butter and sugar and if you have a sweet tooth, it tastes like you’ve died and gone to heaven. This is quite honestly the best tablet I’ve tasted and I’m a bit of a tablet connoisseur.
